It was originally postulated, primarily on the basis of experiments employing actinomycin D, that calciferol (vitamin D) mediated its characteristic physiological responses in the intestine via the activation of information stored in the intestinal genome. A more recent alternative hypothesis suggested that actinomycin D blocked the biological response to calciferol by inhibiting the mandatory metabolism of cholecalciferol to 1, 25-dihydroxycholecalciferol. Presented in this paper are the results of recent experiments studying the effects of both actinomycin D and cycloheximide on the metabolism, subcellular localization, and action of cholecalciferol or its metabolites, 25-hydroxycholecalciferol and 1, 25-dihydroxycholecalciferol. Actinomycin D was found to inhibit calcium transport stimulated by cholecalciferol or its metabolites without inhibiting their metabolism or localization in the target tissue, the intestinal mucosa. However, actinomycin D had to be administered in four doses at 2-hr intervals to block the stimulation of calcium transport by 1, 25-dihydroxycholecalciferol. Actinomycin D was also found not to lower the renal levels of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol-1-hydroxylase, which were measured in vitro. In contrast, cycloheximide was found to inhibit the localization of the sterols in the intestine. Also cycloheximide lowered the renal enzyme levels which were measured in vitro following administration of the antibiotic in vivo. From these data it can be calculated that the 25-hydroxycholecalciferol-1-hydroxylase appears to have a t 1 2 of approximately 3 hr. Thus, the inhibition of intestinal calcium transport by these two antibiotics may in fact occur at two different target organs; cycloheximide by a lowering of the kidney levels of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol-1-hydroxylase and actinomycin D by blocking the action of 1, 25-dihydroxycholecalciferol in the intestine.
